Agreed police force's accepting new reparations (10)
I believe the answer is:
atonements
'reparations' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'agreed police force's accepting new' is the wordplay.
'agreed' becomes 'at one' (to be 'at one' is to be agreed).
'police force's' becomes 'met's' (short for Metropolitan Police Service).
'accepting' indicates putting letters inside.
'new' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation eg NT for New Testament).
'mets' enclosing 'n' is 'ments'.
'atone'+'ments'='ATONEMENTS'
I've seen this clue in The Daily Mail.
